All Lettered Up

I got all the letters done on my little square.  Now to do the patriotic heart inside.

Chinatown South American Style

One of the places we visited in Buenos Aires was Chinatown!  It even has a gate given by the Chinese government.  Although it's only three blocks large at the moment, I'm sure it'll expand as more and more Chinese come over for the mining.  It's authentic enough to have a bunch of weird fried things in one of the restaurant windows, at least.

Six Parts Heart

Six of seven parts done to the friendship heart.  Just a little more to do.

Breakfast at Hotel Fierro

 Our hotel included breakfast with the room.  They served it in a very nice little restaurant with a beautiful patio that would be great in the summer.  Lots of fruit, coffee, tea, some rolls, eggs and yogurt.  Great way to start the day.

Freedom

I made a lot of progress on this piece last week. I worked on it while waiting for Andreas to get his licence at the DPS. It was a long wait (about two hours) to be called, but once he got to the counter, it was quick.

Doesn't Look Argentine...

Andreas couldn't wait until we got to the US to have American food, so we at at the Tucson Steakhouse by the Recoleta on our second day in Buenos Aires.  I had a caprioska, of course, and all the rest except the chicken salad was Andreas'.  It was very good, but the portions were huge! 

Stitch and Zip

I bought some ebook reader covers that stitch up with needlepoint.  This one is my first to do.  It's got six stranded cotton floss and the cover is already assembled.  I put the floss inside for ease of storage.  The edges have been a bit of a pain to do, as there are bits of canvas folded over and the zipper edges to work around.  On top of that, it's not -perfectly- square, so I have to compensate with that, too.  It's started, though, in the top left corner.  One of those small projects I fit in my suitcase.
